I had SUCH a good experience with this group of midwives. I mainly saw Tamara and Meghan and liked…read morethem both very much. I ended up with a fairly rare pregnancy complication (not their fault) and they handled it very well, making sure I had the right referrals and treatment. I then had to be induced early and they did a good job with that, also - always keeping me informed of my progress and the baby's health. If I have another baby, I will DEFINITELY be seeing them again.

Dr Thacker is very knowledgeable and absolutely sure of what she's talking about when it comes to the lady parts. She made sure to go through each step to find and fix my problem. Along the way she kept me informed with what she was doing and why. She recommended a few options for care and also gave her suggestions but in the end left it up to me to decide what I wanted to do about my health. This not only made me comfortable but happy that she was allowing me to choose. I am so grateful for and extremely happy I found her. Dr Thacker's staff is extremely kind, patient and knowledgeable, I would specifically like to mention Katie who I love so much, she always makes me feel comfortable and at home when I visit the office! Chris also made the check in and checkout process easy and simple and was so helpful and knowledgeable when it came to insurance and payments. The facility itself is very clean and always at the optimal temperature so you remain comfortable even while waiting for your appointment. In closing the flexibility, willingness to work with my schedule and fit me in at the last minute really meant a lot to me while receiving care. Def would recommend this place above all if you're in or around the Boston/Medford area!

She is the person you see at every appointment and is there to deliver your baby till the end! We loved how patient she was and friendly and even talked about her personal experiences . She always checked on the progress even after delivery and suggested few best options for lactation, nursing and took care of every step even before delivering my baby explaining things to deal with ,clearing my doubts all the time. Her staff is very friendly and helpful and she is available on call/text for emergency questions and any help. If you are looking for an OB and want someone who is there from beginning to the end of your journey, she is it! Delivered my baby with peace of mind and was lucky to have her as my OB.

First off, the Center for Women was very accomodating in squeezing in an appointment last minute because I needed a prescription asap. And yay for it being so accessible (bus 71 or 73 stop right there and run frequently). I did have to wait a while in the exam room, but once the doctor came in, I knew it was worth it. Dr. McGaraghan gave a gentle exam that was as comfortable as it could be. She solicited my questions and thoroughly answered them. She was friendly, nonjudgmental, and appears to be a down to earth person.

I hope I never have to find a new doctor for my lady parts - Dr. McGaraghan is the best there is!

I would be willing to have a hundred kids, if she was the one providing all of my prenatal care. My biggest regret was that my tiny human didn't decide to make his arrival in to the world on the night she was on call because I would have loved for him to deliver him. If you are looking for a doctor during your prenatal care that is kind, compassionate, dedicated and obviously loves her profession, then I would highly recommend her to anyone. (the office staff is also a wonderful group of fantastic ladies, whom I miss seeing on a regular basis)

After the birth, nurses on the maternity floor came in and shared information that was private with me that Dr Hardiman had absolutely no medical reason to share.

Her approach is to try one treatment at a time, and she's not shy about changing the treatment if you don't find results. Dr. Green also has relationships with other specialists that give the same level of care that she does. Most importantly, she is not afraid to recommend you get a second opinion if she cannot find what is wrong. Office: her staff is nice and I've never had a problem getting an appointment within a week of calling. This is pretty good for a specialist. I recommend her to anyone, but from what I understand, most patients see her if another health care provider recommends you. I guess it's like being in a secret club.

Dr. Cruickshanks performed my myomectomy this summer. I know many women have severe symptoms such…read moreas painful heavy periods, weight gain and bloating. My biggest symptom was pressure on my bladder, particularly when I would run. Luckily I never had pain with my periods or heavy ones at that. I went to get this checked out because I was feeling as though I had something inside me that should not be. After ultrasounds and examinations they found that my uterus was filled with fibroids. They determined that due to the size of the fibroids and my desire to want to try to have children it would be best to have them removed. From the beginning Dr. Cruickshanks was very reassuring that it would be in my best interest to have them removed. I had my surgery on June 28 and everything went very smoothly. However, the recovery was something I did not expect. I stayed in the hospital for 2 nights which I was grateful to have the chance to stay the second night. Getting in and out of bed for the first few days was terrible. Dr. Cruickshanks came in the next day first thing in the morning. She was very attentive to all my questions and needs. When she should be pictures of the fibroids I could not believe what had been growing inside me. I was so grateful to Dr. Cruickshaks to have performed my surgery. She removed about 4 fibroids and had to leave one behind simply because it would be too complicated. Which I am grateful that she made that decision because it could have resulted in a hysterectomy or excessive bleeding. Of course my concern for the scar was always in the back of my mind, and the doctor cut right on the bikini line with such precision. I am now using Bio-Oil to even out the color of the scar but it is right on the bikini line which I am sure will fade in a few months. I highly recommend Dr. Cruickshanks without reservations.

Both…read moreher practices in Brighton and Arlington advise you to call before you come to see if she is running on time. She is one of the few doctors that delivers her patients' babies herself (except when she is on vacation in the fall). The wait is because she is delivering a baby usually. Anyways, she took care of me when I had my first miscarriage and during both of my pregnancies and delivered both of my children. After I miscarried, the hospital staff and she were extremely caring during such a difficult time. She is extremely thorough, thoughtful, and caring. She does not take risks. She is simply one of the best. For those of you that have posted remarks about her outdated practices, please note that she works for a Catholic hospital. While I was pregnant with my second child I inquired about an IUD after birth. She told me that she would not be able to do this because of hospital policy and for religious reasons. I was a bit disappointed, but she gave me an alternative, which was the Essure procedure. I am extremely happy with the procedure and her care of me. When I see her I still cry because she is an extremely important part of my life.

Here is a laundry list of the terrible experiences I had with her over about a year and a half before I finally had the sense to get the hell out of there! 1. She gave me the HPV vaccine the standard three times. Each subsequent time I went to her office she would ask me if I was interested in getting the vaccine-even though my medical records were right in front of her. This woman does not have time for you! 2. She has WAY to many patients and is totally unprepared for appointments. I routinely had to wait an average of at least 45 min before being seen. It was impossible to get her on the phone. 3.I had all the symptoms of a UTI and went to her office for a urine test in hope of getting antibiotics. After a few days of severe pain, she called me and told me I didn't have one. I suffered a few more days until I started to get a fever. I went to a walk-in clinic at the hospital down the street and they said I had blood in my urine and a MILD KIDNEY INFECTION and I was lucky I caught it when I did or else I would have had to be HOSPITALIZED. That should have been the last time I saw her. 4. I went for one last pap smear last fall. She called me several days later and told me I had HERPES. That I was having an outbreak and prescribed me valtrex. I had NO symptoms, she did NO blood test. By this point I was skeptical of anything she told me. I went to Planned Parenthood, got my blood tested. No herpes. And the nurse said there is no way Dr. Falzon could have tested for herpes without a blood test unless I was having an outbreak. I called Dr. Falzon to give her a piece of my mind. Instead of suggesting she do a blood test herself to confirm, she insisted I have herpes. This was last September. I have been tested four times since then-paranoia, a side effect of being a patient here-and NO HERPES. THIS WOMAN SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICING MEDICINE!
